colinmce Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yes, by 'Jazz Workshop' I meant Right Now. Still need to grab the Great Concert and Monterrey discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Liza by Mel Powell, Ruby Braff, Skeeter Best, Oscar Pettiford and Bobby Donaldson. Something like once a year I play this to remind me what I love. Been doing this for decades. It is sure to bring me out of any funk.

AndrewHill Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Mingus Sextet - "Meditations" I'd heard the versions from Cornell and the Jazz Workshop, but the piece never made much of an impression on me until I stumbled on this video earlier in the week (I've been on a big Mingus kick). I returned to the Cornell verison with a renewed appreciation for this truly stunning composition. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=UOd4TlP7MP8 Other worthy versions of this song are on The Great Concert of Charles Mingus, Mingus at Monterey and Right Now, all from 1964 and 1965. Was just spinning the Cornell 1964 version of this today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 "Rew mi Senegal" by Canari de Kaolack, from untitled K7 by the band. Beautiful relaxed feeling, very different to other early Mbalax recordings. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Water Babies, Miles Davis, all of side one really but especially "Capricorn." I get really bored by Shorter often I must confess, but he's pure brilliance here, and clearly demonstrates he was then a master of the saxophone too.

Hot Ptah Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) "My Favorite Things" on Sun Ra's "Some Blues But Not The Kind That's Blue." Water Babies, Miles Davis, all of side one really but especially "Capricorn." I get really bored by Shorter often I must confess, but he's pure brilliance here, and clearly demonstrates he was then a master of the saxophone too. I loved "Water Babies" when it was first released. Side 1 got very heavy play in our little college apartment of jazz fanatics. Side 2, not so much.

jeffcrom Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Not quite the right thread for this, but I think that maybe Bunny Berigan recorded the worst song ever written in 1936: "The Goona Goo." Berigan plays well, and the instrumental parts aren't bad, but when Art Gentry started singing the lyrics I thought the floor was going to split and open a portal to hell. I'm too scared to reproduce the lyrics here, but if you're brave enough, they are here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Skid Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Jackie McLean, "Rene", from "Let Freedom Ring". There's quite a conversation going on in this tune... lots of great moments from all players, but I especially like the one note exchanges around 6:55 or so.

jazzbo Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I can't decide if it's "Blues for Louise" or "Jitterbug Waltz" from Zoot Sims' "Warm Tenor" on Pablo. One of my favorite Zoots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcy62 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) Booker Lttle's Out Front, all the record, with a light preference for side 2. Actually I never listen to this record before, I am pretty familiar with most of Booker's playing as sideman, but this record is an astounding surprise.

Big Al Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Jazz: Roy and Diz throwing off the mutes halfway thru "Blue Moon" as the Oscar Peterson Trio fans the flames from underneath as the old lions sail off into the stratosphere!!! Rock: Grand Funk Railroad's "Queen Bee" because of the mental image that popped into my head when I heard it, which was so insanely disturbing, I've been trying to get it out of my head. It doesn't help, unfortunately, that a very small, dark, and psychotic part of me kinda enjoys it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Ptah Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Frank Zappa and a 20 piece band (with full big band reed and brass sections) playing "The Grand Wazoo" live in Boston, on the 2007 release "Wazoo". This is the most fun song to listen to on this often rather challenging release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
